Stories of Customer Service
One of the best things that have come out of working in customer service is the stories that I got from dealing with customers and my coworkers. I have compiled some of the best memories that I have with them over social media, however, I think writing them out might help keep them preserved for revisiting.

How I lost my first job
So let’s get straight into this, As you can see from the title I started my first job when I was 15 so I’m working at a soft play company and these guys would give me the worst hours in the world like you will see in the next part why the hours were so bad. Yeah I get it, I was 15 on £4 an hour, anyway, they called me on my day off to ask me to come in for 1 hour and it was like 4 pm so I was chilling with my friends playing some Xbox doing normal kid stuff, what else are you going to do at that age right.

Selling during a pandemic
I've recently dropped out of a semi-regular sales job. My goal was to make as much money as I could throughout the day, which consisted of a prolonged afternoon and an averaged morning. After a while things start following a certain routine, and we, kind of, become the routine. Have that ever happened to you before? Realizing what was happening and not fighting the change that was taking place all around your self. I did, for a while, and then I chose to take my destiny into my own hands and quit that compromising gig. But how had I ended up there in the first place? Why was I working with a company that I didn't feel like working with? And why on hell am I telling you this?

Books, Kids, Chaos and Headaches
Working as a Librarian for a day may sound like the most boring job in the world, but my building of books is home to me. My local library took me in as a volunteer when I was seventeen, and now six years later, I’m part of the family. A family I haven’t been able to see since the end of March. It’s nice texting and receiving the odd email each week, but the warmth comes from that face-to-face interaction we've all had to cope without. I miss the smile my colleagues give me when I walk through the automatic doors, the excitement of the kids as they holler my name from the computers, and the community spirit that radiates from the members of the public.
